More quotes by Clark Gable
Method actors are like hams.
Clark Gable
I'm no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me.
Clark Gable
Single men never have any problems. I suppose that the public builds some kind of idea from what they've seen of me on the screen.
Clark Gable
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great - and they know I know it.
Clark Gable
When the public doesn't want me any longer, I'll quit.
Clark Gable
They see me as an ordinary guy, like a construction worker or the guy who delivers your piano.
Clark Gable
I'm just a lucky slob from Ohio who happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Clark Gable
This power that I'm supposed to have over women was never noticed when I was a stage actor on Broadway. I don't know when I got it. And by God, I can't explain it.
Clark Gable
It's a chain of accidents. When you step into Hollywood, you wind yourself into thousands of chains of accidents. If all of the thousands happen to come out exactly right-and the chance of that figures out to be one in eight million-then you'll be a star.
Clark Gable
I am intrigued by glamorous women ... A vain woman is continually taking out a compact to repair her makeup. A glamorous woman knows she doesn't need to.
Clark Gable
I don't discuss women at all with anyone. There are good qualities in all women. Some may be lacking in some of these qualities and should have them. I'm liable to say so and hurt their feelings, and it wouldn't be meant that way at all.
Clark Gable
Clark Gable was the only real he-man I've ever known, of all the actors I've met.
Clark Gable
The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds... And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it.
Clark Gable
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Clark Gable
Every picture I make, every experience of my private life, every lesson I learn are the keys to my future. And I have faith in it.
Clark Gable
Disagreeing with the fervent patriotism of the Confederates: I think it's hard winning a war with words, gentlemen. . . . I'm saying very plainly that the Yankees are better equipped than we. . . . All we've got is cotton and slaves, and arrogance. I seem to be spoiling everybody's brandy and cigars and dreams of victory.
Clark Gable
Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dying's as natural as living. The man who's too afraid to die is too afraid to live.
Clark Gable
Working with Marilyn Monroe on The Misfits (1961) nearly gave me a heart attack. I have never been happier when a film ended.
Clark Gable
When it's over it's over. No questions, no tears, no farewell kisses.
Clark Gable
I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once, and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level! It actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news on the seat of my pants.
Clark Gable
